Microsoft was spotted to be planning on releasing a new feature on its Edge browser that would help all cryptocurrency investors and owners to have instant access to a wallet for all their needs. This came from a leak that claimed that this is under the beta testing phase of the company, which may or may not release to the public soon.

This new cryptocurrency wallet on the Microsoft Edge browser would be a built-in feature on the platform and would provide instant access should it release for all. 

Microsoft Edge Leak: Cryptocurrency Wallet Spotted

According to a prominent leaker known as "@thebookisclosed" via Twitter, there is an upcoming feature on the Microsoft Edge browser that will deliver cryptocurrency wallet access to the public right on the web browser. This new leak points to an experience where it would be built-in on the platform and not as an extension that people need to add from a specific crypto wallet company.

It can hold different types of cryptocurrencies present in the world alongside different tabs like "Explore" to read top news in the crypto industry and "Assets," which will allow users to take a look at their holdings.

The Edge's crypto wallet is non-custodial, a.k.a. self-custodial, which gives a user the only one with access to it, including recovery codes. Losing this means users may no longer access it as Microsoft would not allow its recovery process, says Ars Technica.

The leaker is known for unraveling Microsoft builds and features hidden in the system, centering on Windows 11 and other features available in previous versions of the computer operating system.

Edge's Crypto Wallet is Under Beta Testing

The new crypto wallet feature on Edge is under a beta testing experience for the user under its program, particularly for those with crypto holdings available. It allows them to explore more of the built-in features of the browser that would allow them to access their cryptocurrencies easily for their monitoring, spending, and other needs. 

Microsoft's Chromium Browser

One of the top-rated web browsers in the world now is Microsoft Edge, and it is because of its notable performance and speed in the many processes of connecting to the internet. Another reason for its massive significance now is the top-rated security on the browser, which keeps the web connection experience safe and secure for its users.

Since it is a Chromium-based browser, its performance, architecture, and security greatly improved from its previous versions, which made it one of the best platforms in the present. One iconic feature available on Microsoft Edge is that it allows users to open as many as 100 tabs in one session without lagging or taking up a significant memory process via the 'Sleeping Tabs' feature.

Its switch to Chromium took the world by storm as it is one of the most highly regarded browsers at present, rivaling that of Google's Chromium, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. Its advanced features are stacking up and coming to the public at different times, with the recent leak signifying that the company is testing features to bring a native-running crypto wallet for Microsoft Edge.
